‘Alpha-Numerie Series Poi ATAUTA REES pT INTRODUCTION: Alpha - Numeric - Symbol series is com- [bination of alphabets, Numbers, and sym- [bols. This chapter is one of the important chapter because in every competitive Jexam around five questions comes from this chapter. Some important points you have to keep in your mind: (1) Vowels - A, E, 1, 0, U and Vowels are represented as small ‘V’ (v) (2) Consonants - All letters except vowels and Consonants are represented as Small ‘C’ (c) (3) Numbers - 1, 2, 3, 4 ete and Numbers are represented as small ‘N’ (n). (4) Symbols -!@ #$ % ete and symbols are represented as small ‘S’ (s) In whole chapter we will using these four points by applying some differ- Important tips: Left + Left =F) from Left Right + Right = (-) from Right Left + Right = (+) from Right Right + Left = (#) from Left Example: Read the following character sequence carefully and then answer the questions given below it: BC4X6DG$MP-5%R Which character is 3rd to the right of 4th from the right? Explanation: 3rd to the right of 4th from the right means (43) from right = Ist from right = R Which character is 2nd to the left of| 7th from left? Explanation: 2nd to the left of 7th from left means (7-2) from left = 5th from left = X Which character is 2nd to the left of| 7th from right?
